You are doing DC math. :-))

Check this out:
As a lucky Australian, the feral Govt. has covered the cost of my receiving two recent injections of the new drug STELARA at a cost of Aus $9,250 per injection my contribution was $33.60. Previous I had a PSI score of 29 currently after being on Stelara for 3 months my PSI score is at 11.5, I need to aim for PSI score of 7.5 in order to receive an new prescription for continuation of Stelara as my first script has cost Aus $29,000 (my contribution $100).

The FDA will never approve it for this use anyway. Can you imagine the dollars it would take out of the pockets of those health organizations that currently reap the benefits of “treating” those with Alzheimers?

I suffer from both psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis..

my drug is only 700 bucks a shot....

with any luck at all, the deterioration of my joints will stop in it’s tracks...

still hurts like hell though
